Signed by the newly relocated Minnesota Twins before the start of the 1961 season, 2nd basemanBernie Allen would quickly make his way to the major leagues, appearing in 159 games in 1962. Allen would hit .269 in his rookie season, connecting for 154 hits including 27 doubles, 7 triples, 12 home runs, 64 RBI and 79 runs scored.

Allen would remain with the Twins through 1966, never duplicating the numbers he produced in his rookie year.

Traded to the Washington Senators, along with Camilo Pascual for Ron Kline, Allen would spend the next 5 seasons in Washington. Perhaps his most successful season in Washington was his last when he hit .266 in 97 games in 1971.

Not long after the second version of the Senators abandoned Washington for Texas, Allen was traded by the newly branded Texas Rangers to the New York Yankees.

Allen would spend the 1972 season in New York, hitting .227 in 84 games. Starting 1973 in New York, Allen was only used in 17 games when he was sold to the Montreal Expos in mid-August. Another 16 games in Montreal, the last coming in mid-September, marked the end of Allen’s major league experience.

Senators Short Timer Alton Brown spent about 5 weeks on the Washington roster in the spring of 1951. Pitching in 11 and 2/3rds innings in 7 games, Brown would leave the majors with no won-lost record and a career ERA of 9.26.

Up to this point in his career, Fernandez had been a catcher and occasional outfielder. During his 6 week stint with the Senators, Fernandez appeared in 18 games, primarily as an outfielder, only playing behind the plate once.

In late June, still in 1971, the Oakland Athletics thought better of the trade and purchased Fernandez back from Washington.

However he’d only remain in Oakland for a little over 2 months, appearing in just 2 games, when he was on the move again, this time traded to the Chicago Cubs.

Fernandez would finish the 1971 season with the Cubs and start 1972 there as well. He’d only play 3 games in 1972, his last major league appearance coming in late May.
